And from the wires you can get all the far less interesting rumors about potential suitors (or not) like Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, Nomura, HSBC, Barclays, etc.

Lehman’s market cap, as of today’s close, was $2.9 billion. You could sell the headquarters building for about $1.3 billion, which leaves $1.6 billion for all the rest of the business. That’s still slightly out of my price range, but it strikes me as a reasonably good deal for a company that, even after you subtract the $6.6 billion in losses over the past two quarters, made an average profit of $1.8 billion a year for the past five years.
